Topic: Hunting Leaderboards

Question about the Choctaw Hunting Grounds...  Is there a particluar place to stand that's better (or worse) to find a specific type of animal?  The reason I ask is that my hunting character finally made it to the top of the bear killing list (117-115).  If the odds of getting any of the animals were the same, I would have expected many more bear kills, judging from the number of rabbits and deer that she has killed when compared to the #2 person on the leaderboard.  (150+ deer and 225+ rabbits)

Was she standing in a prime spot for the deer and rabbits, or is it just really bad luck?

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

Re: Hunting Leaderboards

All spots on the map are actually the same, but bears have the smallest chance of appearing.

So either the character at #2 on the Bear killing leaderboard is very lucky at finding bears, or I'm very unlucky at it?

Kills for the top 2 characters on the Bear Killing Leaderboard:
Bears:   117-115
Rabbits:  615-354
Deer: 612-171 (!?!?!?)

Considering how things usually turn out, I'll go with option 2.

Any particular reason why there's no leaderboard for the Wild Boar?  It didn't really occur to me until just now...

Re: Hunting Leaderboards

I think everything besides the bear is a 10% chance, with the bear being 5%. If you're hunting I think that's multiplied by 10, so you can figure it from there.

Wild Boars aren't on the board because it never occurred to me either.
